This book fuses the Church's traditional doctrine of the
Communion of Saints and Baptists' theology of salvation and
discipleship--charting how Baptists can speak of a communion of
saints here and now. Paul Fiddes and his coauthors emphasize that
this communion is only possible within the fellowship of the triune
God who covenants with and for believers.
Reframing communion within a theology of covenant enables the
affirmation of the practice of prayer and mutual support with all
faithful disciples, both alive and dead. Such a covenantal
understanding of communion avoids an unhealthy obsession with
communication with those who have died. Baptists and the Communion
of Saints thus makes a significant and practical difference in the
way Baptists understand the nature of the church, prepare their
worship, care for the dying and the bereaved, go on spiritual
journeys, and celebrate baptism and the Lord's Supper.
